This is a place for Austin Bigs to coordinate group tutoring and learning pods for their Littles. We get a lot of requests for group tutoring and learning pods. We decided to create this forum strictly for information-sharing purposes only. It exists solely as a place for Austin parents and guardians to find each other, so that they may form their own arrangements (i.e. members, guidelines, schedule, location, etc.). Jill's Tutors operates a tutor matching platform. We help match clients with an appropriate tutor/teacher from our network of independent contractor educators. If you decide to form a group or pod on your own accord, feel free to reach out once you need to find a tutor/teacher. You certainly don't need to use our services, though. Please head over to the Rules & Disclaimers page to learn how to participate in the Pod Connection. Important Note: In late 2020, the City of Austin issued guidance and regulations regarding the operation of learning pods. It is critical that all pod parents stay informed of the latest guidelines. Since Jill's Tutors does not form these learning pods or groups, this responsibility lies solely on the adults involved.
